Phase inversion cellulose acetate propionate membranes showed low permeability to hydrogen peroxide aqueous solutions. Their permeability was increased by alkaline hydrolysis of the ester linking units. However, the permeability remained lower than that of an unsubstituted cellulose membrane. The inclusion of hydroxypropyl cellulose in the membrane formulation, followed by an alkaline hydrolysi...

Edible films were made from proteins (corn-zein and wheat gluten) and celluloses (methyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose), and tested fog permeability of gases. Oxygen and carbon dioxide permeabilities of edible films were generally lower than those of plastic films. However, water vapor permeabilities of edible films were higher than those of plastic films. The concentration of plasticiz...

Phase separated films with controlled porosity were made from ethyl cellulose (EC) and 30% w/w hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC). The molecular weight of EC can be used to modify the mass transfer rate through coatings by effects on microstructure of the film. Processing conditions are, however, affected by the solution rheology, which could influence the film quality when using different molecular...

Structurally Colored Cholesteric Phases of Cellulose In article number 2205506, Ozge Akbulut, Ahu Gümrah Dumanli, and co-workers describe a 3D printing the hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) filaments with two-order hierarchical structures similar to multi-hierarchical arrangement found in nature such as Morpho butterflies. this arrangement, helicoids formed cholesteric phase HPC give rise blue colo...

The incremental elimination or hydroxy functionality in an organosolv lignin by ethylalion or acetylation dramatically innuenced the state of miscibility and resulting morphology or blends prepared with hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC). A maximum level of interaction between the blend components, as determined from melting point depression, oa:.urred where 23-40-1. or the hydroxy groups were subst...

       In this study, the effect of recrystallization of naproxen in the presence of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) on the release rate of drug was investigated. Crystals were generated by the anti-solvent approach using the HPC solution in water as the anti-solvent. The samples were subjected to various physicochemical evaluations such as crystal size, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier tran...

In this study, we have explored the slow (of the order of several hundreds of picoseconds) relaxation dynamics of water associated with the hydration shell of a biocompatible polymer, hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC)-water mixture as a function of HPC concentration using time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The relaxation dynamics slows down with a progressive increase in HPC content indicatin...

Herein, hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) inclusion complex (IC) of a hydrophobic drug, sulfisoxazole (SFS) was incorporated in hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) nanofibers (HPC/SFS/HPβCD-IC-NF) via electrospinning. SFS/HPβCD-IC was characterized by DSC to investigate the formation of inclusion complex and the stoichiometry of the complex was determined by Job's plot. Modeling studies were al...

Cellulose based polymers have shown tremendous potential as drug delivery carrier for oral drug delivery system (DDS). Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) are widely explored as excipients to improve the solubility of poorly water soluble drugs and to improve self-life of dosage form. This work is an attempt to modulate the physicochemical properties of these cellulos...

In this study, amorphous solid dispersions containing dutasteride and various excipients, manufactured by spray-drying processes, were characterized to determine the effects on their ability to form supersaturated solutions and to identify the effects of supersaturation on increasing the bioavailability of dutasteride. The excipients included Eudragit E, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), ...
